The terms of use of the de.NBI Cloud have been adapted following a vote by the de.NBI Central Coordination Unit in December 2024. Use of the de.NBI Cloud is thus now open to all scientific disciplines, subject to sufficient resources. Project applications can only be submitted by a Principal Investigator (PI) of a German university or research institution.
Users can be natural persons who are members or affiliates of a German university or research institution or collaborators in a project conducted by a PI of a German university or research institution. When allocating resources, projects and users from the life sciences are prioritised. Authorisation for use is checked exclusively by the de.NBI Cloud Access Committee based on a research project's application.
Existing users will need to accept the updated terms of use upon their next login to the de.NBI Cloud using LS AAI. New users will need to accept the updated terms of use during their registration process when joining the de.NBI virtual organisation (denbi VO).
Please see the corresponding terms of use in German (legally binding) and the English translation (not legally binding) for details:
